In the imperial garden, a variety of flowers bloomed magnificently.
Besides those handsome young men, there were many young ladies who were parable to the beautiful flowers.
Everyone was very clear about the objective of this time’s flower banquet. However, if it were just about those young men, it would be a little lacking. Therefore, there were also many young women who had been invited as partners.
No matter how adorable or beautiful these young women were, they could not pare to the innocent and pure Fu Qingjiu who looked like a fairy.
Fu Qingjiu stood out amongst the crowd, like a crane amongst chickens. She was very conspicuous and stunning.
“Your Highness.” A delicate maiden walked in front of Fu Qingjiu and asked with the intention to curry favor. “I have a question that would like to ask for Your Highness’ guidance on.”
Fu Qingjiu gently nodded with a pure smile on her face. “Alright. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.”
The maiden’s heart was joyful and her delicate face wore a smile. “I heard a rumor somewhere saying that the princess is the reincarnation of the Ninth Emperor, that’s why the spirit beasts are close to you. Therefore, we are all very curious. Princess, you have also been to the Ninth Emperor’s mausoleum. Is it related to the Ninth Emperor?”
Fu Qingjiu’s smile did not waver. “All you have said are just rumors. How much can one believe in rumors? I am now only Fu Qingjiu. I am not willing to live under anyone’s name.”
The maiden’s eyes rolled.
Now, she was only Fu Qingjiu…
She is saying merely now.
That meant…
Her past self could quite possibly be the Ninth Emperor!
“Princess has always been so humble, displaying no arrogance.”
“Our Haitian Kingdom is not the same as other kingdoms. It is due to Princess’s generosity that all those spirit beasts could live in this kingdom. Today’s oute is all Your Highness’ efforts. Your Highness’ kindness is inparable.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Furthermore, the princess is different as she is always so gentle to us but has never given face to those men who have pursued her. Unlike the other maidens who pretend to be pitiful and act like white lotuses in front of men, our princess has never been bothered about other people’s opinions.”
***
In the imperial garden, these discussions were everywhere.
Fu Qingjiu took a sip of the tea the servant girl had brought over and spoken no more. She was as calm as the breeze, floating like a fairy, a white lotus distant from the world. Pure and flawless, it was as if the pollution of the mortal world could not taint her pure beauty.
As she lifted her eyes, she saw a group of guards carrying the redhead on a stretcher. Her eyebrows raised slightly and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Indeed, Murong Yang had still decided to e to this time’s flower banquet!
He was already sick to such an extent, yet he still came! Originally, she heard that he was poisoned and thought he would not be able to make it today. It seemed that she had underestimated Murong Yang’s stubbornness.
These men… forever the same.
All of them were greedy for the power she had, dreaming of being the Prince Consort of Haitian Kingdom!
However…
In this life, she wanted someone who had no connections to power or looks, a man who only loved her.
If she could not find such a person, she would rather remain single for the rest of her life than to promise!
***
Murong Yang’s expression was very unpleasant. If he was just bitten by the snake, perhaps it would still be fine, but the snake was actually poisonous.
So be it if that was the case, but the more pitiful fact was that his family’s old man still insisted that he participated in this flower banquet even though he had been wounded to such an extent!
He really wanted to go back home and have a good sleep, not caring about all these matters.
“Young Master, we have obeyed the general’s orders to send you here. Later when the banquet ends, we will bring you back.”
